Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint

Natural Antihistamine

When I first became acquainted with essential oils, one of the first blends that I learned of was the Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint blend. Someone discovered that the three oils together made a fantastic blend to combat common allergies.

The blend can be useful and effective in many ways. You just need to experiment a little and determine what works best for you.

Some make a capsule with 2-3 drops of each oil and take it at the very first sign of allergies.

If they come on fast, and you find yourself suffering from allergies, putting 2 drops of each in small shot glass half full of water, then swish and pull the mixture though your mouth for a few minutes before swallowing.

Don’t be afraid to repeat as often as necessary until the symptoms cease.

If your eyes are bothering you, consider doing a cup and inhale application, covering your nose and eyes as you breath in deeply. Let the aroma get to your eyes, but don’t let the oil get in your eyes.
